My Take
Kevin Saunderson earns my deep respect. Born in Brooklyn in 1964, he became one third of the legendary Belleville Three alongside Juan Atkins and Derrick May, helping invent Detroit techno almost from scratch. When I consider that the electronic music echoing through clubs worldwide traces back to a few pioneers tinkering in Michigan, it genuinely amazes me. I love stories where the sound of the future emerges from a rust-belt industrial setting. True originators, the ones who shape a genre rather than ride its trends, are rare, and Saunderson is exactly that. The fact that he is reportedly still active behind the decks only deepens my admiration.
